The Best Cafes in Heywood, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Great little cafe. Worth a visit even if your not getting the ELR. Definitely will visit again. We just had hot drinks and a cake. Great play to take the children too, especially with the play area at the side if the cafe.

Came here at weekend while I was at the station, nicely decorated interior and staff seemed friendly. Definitely recommend the coffee! ☕👍

Excellent food really recommend the Yorkshire pudding siders xx

This cafe is amazing lovely food fantastic staff and a good price, I would definitely recommend,

A really friendly place with great conversation, excellent coffee, tea, cold drinks and food, with a good range of gluten free. If you’ve never been here, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Very welcoming, lovely staff. Delicious coffees. Dog friendly too.

Excepcional coffee and really friendly staff. Love to pay a visit every time I’m around, the best in the area!

I'm guilty of not putting this review up nearly soon enough as this has been the location of choice for me, family, friends and basically anyone who we bump in to in the local area looking for a recommendation for a place to get first class coffee and food to match. The team are great and nothing is too much trouble. There is a really friendly and familiar atmosphere and this just gets better and better the more you visit. You'll quickly become familiar with regular faces and after tasting the food and drink you will understand what keeps them coming back. Seasonal specials come up throughout the year and I'd encourage anyone visiting to give them a try, then come back and try the others until you've done them all :) Coolers in the summer are a great refresher and the various hot chocolates in the winter help keep the chill at bay. Drop in and you won't regret it :)

Fabulous food service and atmosphere and VERY reasonably priced don't know how they do it

Fantastic place to eat. Great food, service and price. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place, great food, reasonable prices and the staff are fantastic. Two meals and two drinks typically come to around £16 and it's a lot nicer and friendlier than any overpriced chain cafe. It has very quickly become a regular weekend stop for us.

Excellent food and fabulous service, new to the area and this is an absolute gem of a place 👌

The rhubarb crumble has a perfect balance between crumble and cooked fruit. Each spoonful melts in the mouth. The apple and sultana pies not only look good but are most delicious. The cheese and onion and mince and onion pies are comforting classics perfect choices for dinner. The home made cakes are mouthwatering choices. Thank you for your friendly smiles and dedication to providing an excellent cafe ❤️❤️❤️

One of the best cafes you can go to, very high quality of food, staff and conversation. Cannot reccomend this place highly enough

Lovely friendly city place. Very close to motorway and DEFINITELY better than the services!

Delicious mini afternoon tea. Have visited several times. The food is made on the premises and always yummy. Reasonable prices, too. Free parking next to the cafe.

We hadn’t booked but they managed to fit us in. This was our first visit and we were blown away. The atmosphere was great. The staff were lovely. The food was outstandingly beautiful- we both had fish and the amount you got for the price was amazing. So happy with our visit. We will definitely visiting again.

Food was gorgeous, very well cooked and tasty. Service was perfect. Atmosphere was enjoyable. I had the specials, scallops starter, sea bass main followed by afforgato. The entire party enjoyed their meals.

Came christmas day party of 10. Couldn't fault a anything about our time there. Everyone was catered for. Food came out together. Nobody had to wait. The staff worked tirelessly all day we ca t wait for your diary to open for 2025 . You should be proud of yourselves AMAZING 👏

Cannot recommend enough! Service was outstanding. Food tasted amazing and so fresh. Best Italian we’ve had by far. Gave us a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our marriage too. Manager was brilliant with us Can’t wait to go back!

Went and got an early breakfast , lovely staff and very nice food. Felt welcomed and well care for

Lovely cafe, freshly cooked food and extremely reasonable prices

Excellent. In a crowded market that includes Weatherspoon and Morrison’s, That Cafe beats both hands down across any metric.

Very friendly Good food Very reasonably priced

Very nice food, good value for money

Fantastic full trip. Delicious!!!

👍

Had an excellent Full English Breakfast there today. Friendly staff and real value for money and makes a pleasant change to have all food prepared fresh from good ingredients.

A great addition to Heywood. Halal, family friendly diner with great food. Their grilled chicken was on point and huge. Their burgers were scrumptious and if you have space don't forget to try their desserts. The biscoff milkshake was so creamy and thicc.

Just had the 4oz cheeseburger and half a chicken in peri peri. The cheeseburger was really tasty and the peri peri chicken was cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and decor were really nice aswell. Would highly recommend and I will definitely be coming back again.

Upon arrival I thought that the setup, design & decor was stunning, very well thought out and made good use of the space. Secondly, the service was second to none, big smiles and excellent customer service. Took our order then seated us at a booth. Thirdly, the food was AMAZING. I ordered the chicken wings, 1/4 Chicken & chips & school cake. The chicken wings and 1/4 chicken was full of flavour, juicy and tender. I have 0 complaints on the food as it was bursting with flavour. The desert took me on a trip down memory lane, which is always good. Overall, top lads, delicious food & amazing atmosphere. I highly highly recommend to food lovers in and around heywood or even further, well worth the travel ( I came from Ramsbottom on a recommendation from a friend). Would rate 10/10 if I could.

Couldn't fault any aspect of our visit today. The Christmas menu was imaginative and cooked to perfection. All staff friendly but professional Beautiful decorations especially in the grounds Good value for money too

We visited the Pavilion bistro last night with a party of 16 people for a 40th Birthday. Our party sat in the garden room which was beautifully decorated with a lovely warm fire. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the staff were incredible, everyone commented on their professionalism, nothing was too much trouble and EVERYTHING was perfectly organized ! The food was absolutely fabulous and presentation was immaculate ! Compliments to the chef ! I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough, it is perfection in every way. Thank you for making our special occasion even more special than we imagined it was going to be !

Such a beautifully decorated restaurant inside and outside with Christmas baubles on a magnificent tree in the car park. The restaurant has been treated to a Christmas makeover too. So the atmosphere was just right for 2 out of the three of us to enjoy 2 courses from the Christmas lunch time menu. We were all driving so didn’t get any alcoholic drinks. 2 of us had prawn cocktail followed by turkey and most of the usual trimmings. The restaurant was busy and we had booked. Service was ok - we had to wait a little but we had plenty to chat about. I recall the set menu (with several choices) was £25 for 2 courses - or was it 3?? For coffee we went upstairs to view the lovely grounds and here it was lovely and warm. The restaurant is so attractive and the ladies toilets are good too!!

Lovely Bistro set in a beautiful location. The staff were super friendly and I would've eaten everything on the menu, great choice for everyone! We revisited this evening and were not disappointed. I would however like to mention a certain member of the serving staff. I don't know his name, he has a beard and we have been lucky enough to be served by him on several occasions. He has a fantastic way with customers, very knowledgeable of the food and local area. He just makes our visit special and is an asset to the restaurant!

Love the sausage and fried onion muffin I get most Fridays - best around this area by a mile

Great Bacon sausage and brown sauce sandwich. Served in warmed breadcake ( makes all the differance). Quality ingredients . Coffee good too. Very reasonable price. Cheers.

Friendly respectfully presented owner. Great food on time and every time.
